I use Outlook for a small business, and recently changed from Cox to Qwest for Internet service. I can receive emails to my business named account, but can’t send. What can I do, or will I have to go back to Cox to get service for a business email domain?

Previous answer/link does not look so good. Download the Outlook Connector here.

Unless Microsoft changed something recently, you could not connect to hotmail via POP3 unless you paid for it. The alternative was to download the Outlook Connector which allows you to connect to hotmail for free (using outlook).

You can download the connector at http://www.microsoft.com/DownLoads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7aad7e6a-931e-438a-950c-5e9ea66322d4&displaylang=en

I stopped using it because it seemed to hang up too often. Instead, I use the WebMailNotifier addon in firefox. Works great, does not hang up, and is so non-intrusive. Works with other webmail services, too!

Is this a new development for a previously working account profile? Or is this a problem setting up a new profile?
